Item Master File

Data Extract Item Master File |

| The SimoTime Home Page |
Introduction
This suite of sample programs describes how to extract data from the Item Master File. The numeric fields will be expanded (Packed or Binary) and the trailing spaces within the text fields will be truncated. A new record will be constructed with the fields being concatenated and separated by a comma. The newly constructed record will be written to a sequential file. The file may now be transferred from the mainframe to a Windows system using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and easily imported into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
The extract of data by fields within the record and the reformatting of the output records is actually accomplished with two COBOL programs. The first program does the File I/O of reading the Item Master File and writing reformatted records to a sequential file. The File I/O program calls the second program to do the record formatting that expands the numeric fields and does blank truncation on the text fields and then places a comma between the fields as the field delimiter.
Note: The COBOL conversion programs were generated using SimoTime technology.
We have made a significant effort to ensure the documents and software technologies are correct and accurate. We reserve the right to make changes without notice at any time. The function delivered in this version is based upon the enhancement requests from a specific group of users. The intent is to provide changes as the need arises and in a timeframe that is dependent upon the availability of resources.

Possibilities and Considerations
When running this job on a Mainframe System the output file will be an EBCDIC-encoded, record-sequential file. The records will be concatenated fields of text strings separated (or delimited) by a comma. This file may be downloaded from the mainframe to a Windows system using FTP in ASCII mode. Since the output file is all text it will be properly converted from EBCDIC to ASCII during the file transfer (FTP) process. It will also be converted from a Record-Sequential file to a Line-Sequential file (Micro Focus terminology for ASCII/Text File). The file is now ready to import into Excel.
When running the job on a Windows System with Micro Focus and using EBCDIC encoding the output file will be an EBCDIC-encoded, record-sequential file. The records will be concatenated fields of text strings separated (or delimited) by a comma. Since we no longer use the FTP process to transfer the file we no longer have the benefit of the FTP process doing the file-format and record-content conversion. Therefore, we need an alternative method for doing the file format conversion from record-sequential to line-sequential and the file content conversion from EBCDIC to ASCII.
Explore How to do File Format and Record Content Conversion of a Record Sequential File with EBCDIC encoded records to a Line Sequential File (or ASCII/Text File) with ASCII encoded records.
When running the job on a Windows System with Micro Focus and using ASCII encoding the output file will be an ASCII-encoded, record-sequential file. The records will be concatenated fields of text strings separated (or delimited) by a comma. Since we no longer use the FTP process to transfer the file and we no longer have the benefit of the FTP process doing the file-format conversion (since we are running in an ASCII-encoded configuration the file-content conversion is not a requirement). Therefore, we need an alternative method for doing the file format conversion from record-sequential to line-sequential.

Micro Focus supports a number of file formats on the Linux, Unix and Windows Systems. The various non-relational data structures are described in a separate document.

JCL Member
The term Mainframe-Oriented refers to an actual IBM Mainframe, Micro Focus Mainframe Express or Micro Focus Enterprise Server with the Mainframe Transaction Option and the Batch Facility. The following (ITEXTJ01.jcl) is a listing of the JCL member needed to run this job.

The COBOL Programs
The File Format and Record Content conversion process uses two COBOL programs. The first program is the File I/O program that does the file format conversion. The record content conversion is accomplished by the I/O program calling a second program that does the record content conversion.
COBOL, the I/O Program
The following (ITMEXTC1.cbl) is the COBOL I/O program that was generated with SimoTime technology. The program was tested using Micro Focus Enterprise Server on Windows/XP. The program was successfully executed in both an EBCDIC and ASCII encoded configuration.

Summary
The purpose of this program is to provide an example for accessing a VSAM, KSDS and extracting data that is reformatted into a comma separated data string that is written to a sequential file. This document may be used as a tutorial for new programmers or as a quick reference for experienced programmers.
In the world of programming there are many ways to solve a problem. This documentation and software were developed and tested on systems that are configured for a SIMOTIME environment based on the hardware, operating systems, user requirements and security requirements. Therefore, adjustments may be needed to execute the jobs and programs when transferred to a system of a different architecture or configuration.
SIMOTIME Services has experience in moving or sharing data or application processing across a variety of systems. For additional information about SIMOTIME Services or Technologies please contact us using the information in the Contact or Feedback section of this document.

Company Overview
SimoTime Technologies was founded in 1987 and is a privately owned company. We specialize in the creation and deployment of business applications using new or existing technologies and services. We have a team of individuals that understand the broad range of technologies being used in today's environments. Our customers include small businesses using Internet technologies to corporations using very large mainframe systems.
Quite often, to reach larger markets or provide a higher level of service to existing customers it requires the newer Internet technologies to work in a complementary manner with existing corporate mainframe systems. We specialize in preparing applications and the associated data that are currently residing on a single platform to be distributed across a variety of platforms.
Preparing the application programs will require the transfer of source members that will be compiled and deployed on the target platform. The data will need to be transferred between the systems and may need to be converted and validated at various stages within the process. SimoTime has the technology, services and experience to assist in the application and data management tasks involved with doing business in a multi-system environment.
Whether you want to use the Internet to expand into new market segments or as a delivery vehicle for existing business functions simply give us a call or check the web site at http://www.simotime.com
